A foul - mouthed police officer tries to solve the mystery behind inhuman , skeletal corpses that suddenly begin showing up around town . A little boy 's life is threatened by his two older brothers , one of whom died years ago . A lucid dreamer finds his nightmares following him back into the real world . What kind of book would you think this was based on the above paragraph ? If you 're like I was when this showed up in my Amazon recommendations , you 're probably thinking it 's a short story collection , and you 'd be right , kind of . After all , that 's exactly how Jon Padgett 's The Secret of Ventriloquism is advertised . The stories can be read in any order you 'd like , and each ### Output: tale can be read on its own . That 's right . Even though they don 't sound like they 'd fit together , the bizarre , horrifying stories in this book all tie into each other . In the case of two stories , the relationship to the others is merely thematic , but the rest either share characters or reference events and places from one of the other tales , resulting in a larger , overarching narrative . Just like a ventriloquist manipulates the actions of his or her dummy , a malevolent power manipulates people and events from behind the scenes ; they gain more and more control of the world … and lay waste to it . Some characters are separated from loved ones ; others find their bodies forced to commit heinous acts ; still others are physically twisted into oozing , nauseating mockeries of an

As a final , playful gesture , the breeze stirred the curly tendrils framing her face . When she felt its touch , she smiled , closed her arithmetic book and rested her head in her arms . Just as she relaxed into sleep , Alicia heard voices in the hall outside the apartment . With a guilty start , her eyes flew open . Holding her breath , Alicia listened closely , hoping not to recognize her parents ' voices . Although she had struggled all morning to finish the problems in her arithmetic workbook , the assignment was still undone - her promises to the contrary . Clearly , she needed more time to finish the extra work the teacher had assigned . The night before , her parents had become angry when reviewing Ali ### Output: cia 's report card . One grade , printed in red ink and circled , had blemished the card - arithmetic . Overlooking all the other , better grades , Antonia had gasped , " This is disgraceful . " " This is a bad note I have received from your teacher , " she had said . " Very bad . What will people say if you do not get promoted ? Think of the shame you bring us . " It had been unusually quiet in the apartment building that Saturday morning . Radio music did not percolate up through the floor ; doors did not slam . Until the moment that she had heard the voices coming up the stairs , Alicia had believed she was alone in the building . Alicia stretched and suppressed a yawn . It was time to get back to work . Her mother would be even angrier than this morning if the workbook pages were undon

My mind is wandering , aimless , unsure . Lost in a morass of fear , doubt , pain . My focus is gone , my thoughts scattered to the four winds , hidden from myself . Before I had hearts , hands , souls to help me find my way back . Now , now I am alone . I know who I am , who I am supposed to be , what my purpose is . I have found though that I do not care .

Noticed and then come to see if they could locate me . I know I have missed a dinner or two in the past but I have never missed without letting someone know .

### Task: Continue the story ### Input: Anyway you slice it , divorce is the shits . No matter how badly you want to get rid of your spouse , the whole process is set up to humiliate and aggravate , not to mention skinning you of every dime either your ex or the lawyers can extract . Looking back on it , I guess I got off better than some , but probably no better than average . I ended up being Carl McCormick , single father , living two thousand miles from my home and my two sons . My ex - wife , Sharise , was getting more and more unhappy , and was taking it out on me and the boys . I had asked her a number of times what the problem was , but never got an answer I could understand . She was just unhappy . I asked her if I was the problem and after hemming and hawing , she admitted I was . Apparently I wasn 't living up to her ### Output: version of the American Dream and I was disappointing her . Sharise and I had married when I got her pregnant after we had been dating for several months . She was supposedly on the pill , but I guess they aren 't foolproof , so I was going to be a daddy .

I 'm not so sure she was all for the idea , but she went along with it when her parents put some pressure on . We were both nineteen , and I was just beginning my way to earning my mechanics ticket through the apprentice program , so we weren 't exactly rolling in money . We were living in her parent 's basement to start with . Sharise didn 't want to work since she was pregnant and I couldn 't argue with her , so I started burning the candle a

We were at a party , and I remember quite a few people cloistered around the dining room table , some were seated , some were standing . I was fortunate to have a seat . Aegis was fortunate to be sitting across from me . She was acting a little flippant about the trip . " Yeah , I 'm going to head down there , you know , hang out , see what 's what . " The women around her couldn 't have been more supportive . I 'm sure they said things like " Have a great time " and " Be careful , " but I wasn 't listening to their words . I was listening to their tone . And , to me , their tone sounded a lot like " Oooh , a boy ! Ooooh , a boy ! How exciting ! " I was annoyed at all of them that day while I sat at that table . But like a good father , ### Output: I kept my mouth shut . I figured she was old enough to do whatever she wanted or chase whomever she wanted , and I couldn 't stop her . That 's basically what I told her when she asked me , " What do you think about my trip to Texas ? " " It 's your life , you 're an adult , don 't let me stop you . But since you 're asking me what I think , I 'm happy to answer . I can tell you right now that I hate this boy . I don 't like that he 's fine with the idea of you hopping on a plane and going to some strange city so you can test the waters . What happens if you don 't hit it off ? Is he going to dump you on some street corner and leave you to walk around in your insensible shoes ? If he wants to see you , he can get on a plane and come to our front door and take you out on a proper date . Th

I watched as she wandered around , touching some things , just glancing at others . She strolled in my direction , and I held my breath as her eyes lit upon me . She smiled softly , and then ran her fingers down my sleeve . Within minutes she had purchased me , and I was on my way home . I wondered who he was , her husband , her boyfriend , just a friend … all I knew for certain was that I now belonged to him . When we arrived home , she tucked me under something else , hiding me from his eyes until she was ready . She handed me to him , and he smiled , then tried me right on . I was a perfect fit . I knew I was where I belonged . As time passed , I watched as their girls grew up , the boy they took in ### Output: and made their son wasn 't around as much but I saw the changes in him as well .

At least when the youngest daughter wasn 't stealing me to wear … I admit I liked getting out into the light again . She stopped stealing me from her Dad , and after my seam tore he stopped wearing me as well . No more working in the yard , or the garage . But still they kept me .

I wish I could remember specifics , but he was not exactly fluent in English , and I know only a few phrases of Chinese . My grandmother could speak much better English than he , and she would sometimes translate some of her favorite stories of his . I lived with them since I was twelve . My parents died in a car crash . My father thought he was invincible when he drank . He proved himself wrong . I don 't know if I actually miss my fa ### Output: ther since I saw so little of him when he was sober , but I still hate him for taking my mother from me . I have no doubt that he wasn 't as horrible a person as I had thought , and that my mother had her own faults , but from a twelve - year - old 's perspective , a mother who worked all day and came home to take care of her family is more important than a father who used up all the money on booze and beat his wife at least once a week . She protected me from most of his drunken rages , but she couldn 't stop him from half - dragging her into the car that night . I went through a couple of different schools after they died . There was a lot of frustration and anger trapped inside of me , and there wasn 't a whole lot of " giving a shit " about school . My grandparents wanted me to get som

I won 't vouch for how good the story is , that is for you to decide . But if you are looking for constant sex you should return to the main page now so you won 't be disappointed . I was cold and uncomfortable , but mostly just bored . I 've been sitting on the ground , just inside the tree line , overlooking a wide expanse of pasture spreading out below me since late afternoon . A quick look at my watch showed it was just past 4 AM now . Behind me a mountain gradually climbed several thousand feet . It was August , and damn hot during the day , but I was high enough in altitude here that it could get very chilly at night . When I got here it ### Output: was pretty hot so I left my jacket in the jeep . Not one of my brighter moves . I was a good ten miles out of town . Dan Jennings has a nice spread here . In fact he has the largest ranch in the county , but this part of it is quite a distance from his ranch house ; which partially explained why I was stuck out here . He has been losing several head of cattle every week for the last couple of months . He and his four sons had tried to catch the rustler but every time they staked out a pasture no one showed up , or a couple head would disappear from another herd . He finally called the sheriff Monday morning and the sheriff called me Monday afternoon . I am the low man on the totem pole around here so his plan fell on me . But to be fair , I would have ended up with it anyway . I man the sh

I wondered what the point of it was . Why do we have this cycle of seasons ? As I thought about it I also thought about the cycle of a single day . As the sun goes down here in Wisconsin , it is rising on the other side of the world and when the day comes to an end there it will start new here . I just found it amazing that in this world God created , there is always a new day . As dark as the night will get , a new day will begin at dawn . It is the same with the seasons . Things may be looking barren now , but we know that in the spring there will be a new season where things will get warmer and buds will pop from ### Output: the trees , flowers will blossom and new life from an old plant will begin . In thinking of all of this , I also thought about the story of the sacrifice of Jesus and realized that it is the same story . 1 John 1 : 15 tells us that " God is light ; in him there is no darkness at all . " Jesus is our new day . And in Ephisians 2 : 1 we are told that " As for you , you were dead in your transgressions and sins . . . " and then in 2 : 4 - 5 " But because of his great love for us , God , who is rich in mercy , made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - - it is by grace you have been saved . " Jesus is also our new season . How important is it to God that we hear the story of what His Son has done for us ? Obviously so important that he used the world we live in to te

I was hitching west and had been picked up by a guy named Jimmy . I never did learn his last name . He was a full - blooded Apache and he invited me to crash on his couch . I didn 't get much sleep because we stayed up most of the night and talked … well … he did most of the talking . He told me of the Denéé - The People - as he referred to the Apache . I learned of their history , their medicine , or religion , as we would call it . I even did some peyote with him and spoke with God . But that 's another story . Today , I want to tell you about Hank . Jimmy was still asleep when I left . I didn 't have it in me to wake him and ask for a ride back to the highway . The sun was j ### Output: ust over the horizon , it was still cool out even though it was the desert and it was summertime . I had been brought onto the reservation in the back of a pickup truck and had not followed our progress as we drove the back road onto the reservation ; after all , I was facing backwards , looking at where we 'd been , not where we were going . As I started my walk , I saw the mountain I had been looking at as we drove onto the Apache homeland . It seemed as though it had taken us about half an hour to get from Highway 90 to Jimmy 's house . So , I reckoned that if I just kept the mountain in front of me and walked in a relatively straight line , it would not take me more than a few hours to make my way back to the highway . Boy , was I mistaken . I started my trek across the desert full of

They kept raising my bill and I 'd call them to get it back down . . . . and each time they promised it would be for 12 months at that price . But a few months later , my bill would have added charges to it and you have to know their way of billing , to figure out what they did to make the bill higher .

The last time I called and they promised that price for 12 months . . . just a couple of months into the 12 promised deal , they were at it ### Output: again ! I got a letter from Comcast , that said they had not been charging me the correct amount and the new charges would be on my next bill . That was sorta ' the straw that broke this customer 's back . If the bill went up one more time , it would be my last month with Comcast . After all those years , they would give a bargain price to new customers who had not been with Comcast . . . and not give that same deal to customers who had been with them for years . When I got the bill , it was $ 40 more . . . it was already too high for the amount of channels I actually watched . . . and the principle of their raising it again and again . . . was over the top .

### Task: Continue the story ### Input: It was impossible to move with the two men holding my arms above my head . My skirt was not short because I know how that inflames the Arabs , and I know also how quick they are to assume any foreign woman is a whore , and fair game . In any case , the length of my skirt did not matter because the man who was not sitting on my arms had taken it off me . He had long , thin hands , like a girl 's . That was one of the few things I registered about him . Also that he hesitated when my skirt was off . ' Please , sir , ' I said in English . ' Please don 't do this .

When we reached Le Meridien , they opened the door and told me to get out . I could see the man in the turban who opens doors and calls taxis for guests staring at me . No doubt he was wondering what a Filipina was doing in a Land Cruiser with three Arabs . And no doubt he was answering his own question inside his head . It would be an answer not flattering to me .

The book is supposed to be about falling in love and figuring out that sex is not the same thing as love . When someone falls in love , they take chances , they put their heart on the line for someone they really care about . Sex is something you can have without feelings for someone . That 's why making love is different than having sex . It has feelings all wrapped up inside of it . And you can only truly make love if you are in love . October 29 , 2013 · 9 : 48 pm Chapter Three ( Coming Into Focus ) The nerves hit me after a few more miles of driving around the city .

I went back to my apartment , and got out my nail polish kit . Right now , my nails had splotches of blue left over from when I did them on Christmas . It was now summer . I was surprised there was any left on them . I chose a light pink nail color that would match the sun dress I intended to wear . After applying two coats , I picked out some strapped sandal flats to go with my dress . I put my dress on the bed along with my shoes . I went into the kitchen , but realized I shouldn 't eat until our lunch date so I sat on the counter , waiting for the nail polish to dry . Once it did , I went into the bathroom and took another shower - so that any extra nail color would come off my toes . Once out , I blow dried my hai

So many heard our news quickly but we have several people that have not heard our bad news . So far I have been asked outright something to the effect of , " where 's the baby / how 's the baby doing ? " I hate this question . It not only makes the person asking it feel awkward , but sometimes makes me almost get teary . Tonight was one of those nights . We went to dinner after B 's ball game and the first person we see inside the place asked us the second we walked in the doors . He also happened to be our first visitor at the hospital when I had B , and also the first person to text Matt with congratulations when Jolie was born .

" Everyone feels sorry for us , everyone feels bad , everyone doesn 't know what to say - but we all know there is nothing anyone can do to help it . I thought of J today . I know ( I believe ) she is still doing counseing for a few more weeks with our caseworker . I wondered today how she was doing .

Kira had just turned around a corner close to the schoolyard , when she suddenly stopped short . Four tall , snobby looking boys were loitering around the front gate , one of which she knew all too well . His name was Travis Henderson . He was the leader of a racist gang that always used to pick on Kira when she first arrived to the US , especially about her English , but now he and his gang just hustled her for some money every once in a great while .

I didn 't have any family except her , but I kept my mouth shut . I walked out with her and climbed in the car and waited to see what she 'd do . Mostly she didn 't do crazy things . She was old when I was born . She worked at the pharmacy and didn 't have any hobbies or anything . She threw another sidelong glance at me , this time with an eyebrow raised . That nearly broke me up , but instead I turned away and looked out the window as the town rolled past , pretending not to be too curious . She took us past the Shop ' n Save and the two thrift stores and the pharmacy where she worked , what she called the Business D ### Output: istrict .

It looked the same : I never knew if that three was supposed to be there or if they 'd lost one of the Es , same way they lost some of the other letters in Kingdom of the Spiders . Either way I figured it 'd probably been a damn good double feature . I wished I 'd seen it . Edgewater ended at the riverbank , and that 's where we got out .

Her eyes darted around her meager little bedroom , desperate to find something to stare at while I examined her . The only sounds that punctured the heavy silence were the faint ticking of the clock in the hallway and the occasional mutter from the recreation room , and after a moment , she began to chew hard on the nail of her little finger . " Ms . Davis , " I began gently , and her blue eyes , which were much too wide and large for her slender face , flickered towards me for a moment before fixing themselves determinedly on a spot on the wall . " Whenever you feel like you 're ready , I 'd like you to answer my question .

Her voice was monotonous and soft . " I 've been eating what the nurses tell me to . " I smiled , and she watched me with a guarded expression . " That 's good , Christine . " I paused . " Do you mind if I call you Christine ? " She shrugged , and through the material of her black t - shirt , I could see the bones in her shoulders jut out as she moved . Her collarbones were like a pair of knives protruding from the base of her neck , and her limbs were as thin and delicate as a newborn fawn 's . But , thankfully , she was still a little more filled out than the hysterical , bleeding , emaciated Christine we had admitted into our facility two weeks ago , whose spine had bulged against the pale skin of

With her they laughed , made jokes and moved on . When she told her parents about it they said the boys were fools who didn 't know anything . When she sought her teacher 's advice she told her not to worry that : " Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes . You 're an art student .

### Task: Continue the story ### Input: In the spring of 1995 , I decided to start an around the world trip . My cousin Rob got me a discount ticket Germany through USair . From Germany , I was going to take the train to Poland and up to Estonia . A friend of mine name Jenny , who I had known from my college scuba diving class , had moved to Kohtla Jarve , Estonia , while working for the Peace Corp . She told me I was welcome to visit , so I decided I was going to do just that . From there , I planned on taking the train to Moscow and catching the Siberian Railroad to Vladivostok . From Vladivostok , I would catch a ferry to Yokohama and see my friends in Japan again , before flying home . After landing in Germany , I made my way over to the train station and bought a ticket . I was in a hurry to not miss the train and as I went ### Output: down the hallway , the ticket salesman screamed at me that I had forgotten my notebook . With everyone starring about me , I ran back and grabbed it , saying " danke " . I ran down to where the trains were and found my platform . The problem was , there were two trains at that platform and I didn 't know which one was going to Poland . The train on the right started to move , so I ran and jumped on it , hoping I had made the correct choice . After asking around a bit saying Warsaw like " vorsava ? " and pointing in the direction of the trains movement , someone finally said " ya " . I found a cabin and sat down on the cushioned bench with my huge Eastern German military back pack . At our next stop , a Russian man and another from Warsaw got on and sat next to and across from me . Eventua
### Task: Continue the story ### Input: It was during March break ( Gary worked days during holidays ) and I was making Bologna sandwiches for the kids for lunch . As I worked at the counter I just started shaking and crying . I had reached my breaking point and I couldn 't take anymore . I picked up the phone and called a shelter for abused women in Halifax . I talked and cried with a counsellor for nearly an hour . When I hung up I packed a bag for the kids and myself and then left in a taxi that they had sent for us . We were taken to the shelter and shown to a room on the top floor . The kids were then taken by a worker into a playroom and I went with the director to her office . After a long talk and a lot more tears she told me that I had done the right thing , no one should be forced to live the hell that I was . Because ### Output: of the extent of abuse and the fact the Gary was nearby , paperwork was started right away to move us to another shelter somewhere else in the province , we would be moved the next day . After supper the RCMP showed up asking about me . They had received a call from Gary saying that his family had been kidnapped . Something in the way he talked made them suspicious and they weren 't surprised to find me at the shelter . After me refusing to press charges ( it was already so overwhelming just leaving I couldn 't even consider more drastic action ) they agreed with the director that it was best for us to be moved the next day . I lay in bed that night in complete shock . I couldn 't believe where I was and how I had ended up here . This was the kind of thing that happened to someone else , i
### Task: Continue the story ### Input: I welcome all my family and dear friends to my place . This year has been a different one for me . And it is posted here in this blog . Along with the fun things that I get to do with the boys . The things that I get to make . The people I get to meet along the way . Life has been so very good to me . As always I have been blessed over and over . Please read and enjoy the musings of my life . To all my dear friends and wonderful family , This year has been an eventful one , to say the least . It was a year that I never even thought would ever happen . Really , it was fun . First I need to send my apologies out to each one of you , I am very sorry I didn 't get gifts in the mail this year for the holidays . With Chuck 's surgery , my working a lot more hours than I am used to , PJ 's Christ ### Output: mas Program , Eric 's projects for school , and maybe just a little bit of down time , I didn 't have the time to make the things that I wanted to make for each of you . Trust me , after the New Year , you will receive something in the mail . It will be like Christmas all over . I really am sorry , I thought I would find the time to do what I wanted to do , but lost all of it somewhere . This year was hard on me . After losing my job of four years , searching and being rejected for all the jobs that I applied for , I went to work as a delivery driver for Pizza Hut . If it wasn 't for Chuck , I wouldn 't have gotten that job either . We took a nice long vacation to St Augustine and Daytona Beach . Spent the time relaxing and enjoying a very peaceful time as a family . It had to be the best
